Chia Seed
Chia seed refers to the seed of the Salvia hispanica, a plant native to Central America. Chia seeds are rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, phytoprotein, multiple minerals, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin B complex. These substances help replenish the body’s needs and provide the necessary energy for metabolism, earning chia seeds the title of a “super food”.
